A brief summary of results from the cultural assessment, including a description of any measurable changes over time:
Students tend to believe that sustainability related issues are important or very important on a global level. Nearly 90% of students believe SDSU should prepare for and work to prevent climate change, while over 90% believe we should conserve energy and water, use renewable energy, and recycle. 82% of students believe that sustainability is very important while 15% believe its somewhat important. The majority students believe it's very important to integrate sustainability into their everyday life. Nearly 30% of students are interested in a bike share program. Unfortunately, nearly 50% of students have not taken a single course related to sustainability. Students are open to limiting or eliminating plastic straws on campus.
